Cookie Policy and Your Privacy

Cookies and Privacy Policy

This is a guide to your privacy and Cookies (not the biscuit kind!). To make this site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. Most other websites do this too.

About Cookies

On 26th May 2012, new laws come into force relating to the use of cookies on websites. These laws regulate how the operator of a website must inform website users as to how cookies are used.

What are Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. The information collected by cookies does not personally identify an individual, it enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

How does ShopaholicsParadise.com use cookies?
When someone visits our site and clicks through to a store or retailer in order to use the voucher code listed, we earn a small commission on any purchase you may make. To do this a cookie is used to track the sale.

Cookies are also used to enable us to see how frequently particular pages are visited and determining the most popular areas of our website.

Our cookies help us:

- Make our website work as you'd expect
- Remember your settings during and between visits
- Offer you free services/content (thanks to advertising)
- Improve the speed/security of the site
- Allow you to share pages with social networks like Facebook
- Continuously improve our website for you

If the settings on your software that you are using to view this website (your browser) are adjusted to accept cookies we take this, and your continued use of our website, to mean that you are fine with this. Should you wish to remove or not use cookies from our site you can learn how to do this below, however doing so will likely mean that our site will not work as you would expect.

Third Party Cookies
Our site, like most websites, includes functionality provided by third parties. A common example is an embedded YouTube video, eBay widget or banner adverts for specific stores and deals. Disabling these cookies will likely break the functions offered by these third parties.

Social Media Cookies
So you can easily 'Like' or share our content on the sites like Facebook and Twitter we have included sharing buttons on our site. The privacy implications on this will vary from social network to social network and will be dependent on the privacy settings you have chosen on these networks.

Anonymous Visitor Statistics Cookies
We use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site isn't working as it should for particular technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at etc. This helps us to continuously improve our website. These so called 'analytics' programs also tell us if , on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping us to put more money into developing our site for you instead of marketing spend.

Advertising Cookies
Cookies are widely used in online advertising. Neither us, advertisers or our advertising partners can gain personally identifiable information from these cookies. We only work with advertising partners who work to accepted privacy standards.

You can learn more about online advertising here youronlinechoices.com. You can opt-out of almost all advertising cookies although we would prefer that you didn't as ultimately adverts help keep much of the internet free. It is also worth noting that opting out of advertising cookies will not mean you won't see adverts, just simply that they won't be tailored to you any longer.

How you can delete, block and control Cookies

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish by adjusting your browser settings. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. Doing so however will likely limit the functionality of our's and a large proportion of the world's websites as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites. It may be that you concerns around cookies relate to so called "spyware". Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive. For more information on cookies and how you can control or delete the use of cookies on your computer, visit www.cookiesandyou.com or www.aboutcookies.org.

This privacy policy sets out how ShopaholicsParadise.com uses and protects any information that you give when you use this website. ShopaholicsParadise.com is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.
